Gourds don't come in only one shape, as you'll see when you come to a gourd exhibition in Shanghai - you will be amazed by so many different shaped gourds. A total of more than 200 kinds of gourds, including some very rare and odd varieties, were made into creative crafts and utensils for display at the exhibition. The event is being held at the Shenzhuang town cultural activity center in Minhang district of Shanghai and will close on Nov 25.
